Leng Yuexin smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm fine!"

"Wow! There's a shooting star!" Xiao Xu shouted excitedly.

Leng Yuexin had been gazing at the starry sky, and naturally did not miss the meteor that streaked across the sky.

Her thoughts drifted back to that night again, to that affectionate and passionate kiss under the shooting star.

Her heart was deeply touched. She frowned slightly, took out the small box again, poured a few pills into her mouth at random, and then put it away.

"Is that candy you're eating?" Xia Yi noticed the box in Leng Yuexin's hand. The packaging on it was printed with patterns of various fruit candies.

Leng Yuexin smiled faintly and responded: "Yes! It's candy, but I can only eat it by myself, I won't share it."

Xia Yi looked at her smile, but felt helpless and bitter in his heart.

He was professionally sensitive and had long noticed that whenever Leng Yuexin looked up at the starry sky, her brows would inadvertently frown, and then she would take out the box of candy to eat.

Was she like this because she was thinking about the starry sky that night?

Seeing that Leng Yuexin was in a bad mood, Xia Yi suggested sending her back to Qing first and then coming over after everyone had finished eating.

Leng Yuexin took too much medicine, which caused her to feel a little numb now, and it seemed as if nothing had anything to do with her.

She followed Xia Yi into the car blankly, without saying a word and with a blank expression on her face.

Xia Yi parked the car outside the bar.

"Xinxin, are you okay?" Xia Yi asked with concern, his voice full of worry.

Leng Yuexin hummed softly, but the sound seemed a little hollow.

Her eyes were dull, as if they had no focus, which made Xia Yi even more worried.

Xia Yi wanted to see if she was sick, but he raised his hand but didn't dare to touch her forehead.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Yi asked again, his tone more urgent.

After a long while, Leng Yuexin slowly said, "No!" Her voice was weak and powerless, as if she almost had no strength to speak.

"Xinxin, look at me!" Xia Yi's voice was a little nervous, and he tried to attract her attention.

Leng Yuexin didn't respond. After a while, she turned her head to look at him and asked a questioning "Hmm?" in a weak voice.

Xia Yi frowned slightly and reached out to touch Leng Yuexin's face, "What's wrong with you?"

However, Leng Yuexin still did not react and just stared at him blankly.

Xia Yi finally realized that something was wrong and immediately drove to the nearest hospital.

In the hospital.

Leng Yuexin was receiving treatment in the treatment room, while Xia Yi was sitting on a chair in the corridor with a heavy heart.

He opened Leng Yuexin's bag, found the box, and handed it to a doctor who came hurriedly.

"Doctor, I don't know if she ate too much of this." Xia Yi said anxiously, handing the box to the doctor.

The doctor took the box, quickly opened it and poured out the pills inside.

He looked at it carefully, frowned, and said, "This looks like a psychotropic drug. We will take it for testing as soon as possible to see what the specific ingredients and dosage are. Please wait."

Xia Yi nodded nervously and watched the doctor leave.

He sat on a chair in the corridor, his hands clenched into fists, his heart full of regret, regretting why he had not noticed Leng Yuexin's abnormality earlier.

After the test results came out, the doctor said to Xia Yi solemnly: "This is indeed a psychotropic drug, mainly used to control sexual desire. Overdose of this drug can cause dementia and irreversible damage to the brain."

"Control lust?" When Xia Yi heard this, he didn't understand why Leng Yuexin took this medicine. What exactly happened in her life?

The doctor continued, "We have washed her stomach, and now her physical condition has stabilized. You can go in and see her, but try not to stimulate her, because we are not sure whether she has other mental illnesses."

Xia Yi nodded and gently pushed open Leng Yuexin's ward door with concern and a smile on his face.

"Are you okay?" Xia Yi asked softly, swallowing back all the questions he wanted to ask.

Leng Yuexin smiled casually: "It's okay, maybe I accidentally mixed up the candy and the medicine box."

She knew that once she arrived at the hospital, the medicine would be exposed, and she could only find a clumsy excuse to get away with it.

"Be careful next time." Xia Yi reminded softly without asking anything else.

"I'm fine. Can you help me with the discharge procedures? I want to be discharged." Leng Yuexin said softly. She didn't want to stay in the hospital.

"Okay! I'll go ask the doctor, you just stay here obediently." Xia Yi nodded gently, stretched his hand into the air as usual and then retracted it, then turned and left.

The doctor originally suggested that Leng Yuexin stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours for observation, but Xia Yi insisted on taking her out of the hospital and promised to take good care of her.

After carefully evaluating Leng Yuexin's condition, the doctor finally agreed to Xia Yi's request, but asked Xia Yi to sign a letter of responsibility.

Xia Yi signed his name without hesitation and returned to the ward with the discharge documents.

He still kept smiling and said to Leng Yuexin: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Leng Yuexin stood up with difficulty. Xia Yi reached out to support her, but he didn't know whether he should do so or not. He had promised Leng Yuexin that he would not touch her casually again.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I help you?"

Leng Yuexin nodded. She was too weak and exhausted.

After getting permission, Xia Yi easily picked up Leng Yuexin and carried her to the car.

In the car, Leng Yuexin took out her cell phone and sent a message to Sister Mei, telling her that she was not feeling well and needed two days off to rest.

Sister Mei was worried about her and asked her to have a good rest before coming back to work.

Then she sent a message to the club owner asking for leave, and she just wanted to rest well and take care of her health in the next few days.

After returning to her residence, Leng Yuexin changed her clothes and lay down on the bed.

Xia Yi sat on the bed, took a deep breath, and asked in a calm tone: "If we are friends, can I ask you a question?"

Leng Yuexin looked at Xia Yi's worried eyes. She knew what he wanted to ask, so she nodded: "Ask!"

"Why do you have to take that kind of medicine?" Xia Yi's eyes were full of heartache.

Leng Yuexin smiled slightly and explained: "That was left by a friend, who said it can calm the mood, so I occasionally eat some."

Xia Yi frowned and smiled bitterly: "You have been eating tonight, is it because you are in a bad mood?"

Leng Yuexin said calmly: "Maybe it's because I haven't socialized for a long time, so I'm a little nervous."

Xia Yi sighed helplessly, stood up, and said softly: "Then you should have a good rest! I will come to see you when I have time."

In the past, he would have kissed her before leaving, but now the boundary between them was so clear that even their hands could not touch.

Leng Yuexin nodded and said softly, "Yes! Thank you!" After that, she closed her eyes and rested.

Xia Yi helped her turn off the lights and then left her place.

Back in the car, Xia Yi covered his chest with his hands. The pain from his heart twitching made him extremely miserable, but he could only accept the reality.

At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated and a message appeared on the screen: "Urgent mission, return quickly."

He immediately started the car and left.

……

Three days later, Leng Yuexin had fully recovered and she quit both jobs.

Having saved some money this year, she wanted to make a comeback and open her own shop as her own boss.

She even felt that as long as she kept herself busy, she would not worry about these emotional matters.

First buy a mobility scooter.

Leng Yuexin came to the car dealership to buy the original model of car.

Sitting on it, she had a sense of déjà vu.

Before she could be happy enough, her cell phone rang. It was Xia Yi calling.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the phone.

"Is this my sister-in-law? I'm Taotao." A young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, which surprised her a little.

Taotao? Why would she call me from Xia Yi's phone? Could something have happened to Xia Yi?

"It's me, what's wrong?" Leng Yuexin's voice trembled a little nervously.

"Sister-in-law~~~" Taotao suddenly burst into tears on the phone, which made Leng Yuexin's heart sink to the bottom.

"Don't cry! Don't cry!" Leng Yuexin comforted Taotao and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Taotao burst into tears and told the story in a halting manner.

Xia Yi died in the line of duty? How is that possible? He was fine just a few days ago.

"Brother Yi sent me a message before he died, asking me not to tell you this, but I still hope you can go see him." Taotao couldn't stop crying.

After hanging up the phone, Taotao sent the address of the cemetery to Leng Yuexin.

Leng Yuexin couldn't accept this fact. She would rather believe that this was a joke of Xia Yi than face this cruel reality.

She drove quickly to the cemetery.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the cemetery. After Leng Yuexin registered her information, she walked into this solemn and sad place.

She looked everywhere and finally saw those familiar figures in front of a tomb surrounded by a group of people.

Xia Yi's parents were crying in front of the grave. Xia Yi's mother fainted several times and continued crying every time she woke up.

Xia Yi's father cried silently and looked at her helplessly. Finally, he had to take her away from the cemetery for fear that she would be too sad.

Leng Yuexin didn't want to disturb them now, so she could only wait quietly by the side.

As it got darker, the crowd in the cemetery gradually dispersed, and Lu Cheng, who was the last to leave, also walked farther and farther away.

Leng Yuexin stood in the distance, carefully observing the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, she slowly walked towards Xia Yi's grave.
